Broadband speeds in SE22
Share of SE22 premises by the fastest download speed available, averaged across all 501 postcodes in the district.
SE22 emerges as exceptional within Southwark. Ultrafast reaches 94.4%, exceeding the 89.1% full fibre figure and suggesting cable networks supplement fibre across this sector. Gigabit sits at 89.1%, fibre-aligned, with the 5.3% ultrafast-only gap likely representing Virgin cable or similar alternative networks. Superfast is nearly universal at 99.9%, suggesting barely any premises on older copper. The speed mix: 91.8% at 300+ Mbps (higher than fibre percentage, reflecting cable's contribution), 8.1% in the 30-300 band. SE22 exemplifies mixed gigabit infrastructure: fibre and cable both contribute to the highest aggregate speeds. Residents benefit from redundancy and competition between network types, potentially enabling provider choice and negotiated pricing.
